stella®: Stella's First Flight....Vegas We Have Arrived!!

Stella was a flipping gem today during her first flight. I can can attribute that to the following things:

1.) We woke her out of a deep slumber this morning at 9am and headed to Detroit Metro Airport after she had her walking breakfast. This allowed for her to get tired a little sooner than normal...

2.) She literally did 50-yard dash SPRINTS for ONE FULL HOUR on the airport moving walkway which was conveniently located smack dab in front of our gate...which tuckered this little girl out beyond your imagination come about 25-min. into our flight.

But before nodding off into her 2-hour nap on our laps Stella enjoyed watching our takeoff from the window and her ears were not bothered by the altitude at all since she was happy to chug down on her sipping cup (since the sucking on something helps alleviate ear pressure).

After she awoke, we only had about 45 min. left of our flight and so she calmly con't to sit on our laps watching epidsode's of Sesame Street on her Ter-Bear's borrowed iPad (um, this is now on my xmas list a MUST for travel!) She watched us land through the window and was happy to greet her friend Natalie in airport shortly after we landed!

The flight home was just as good - although without the M&M's as a special treat could have proved to be not so. Thank you M&M's. :)

Shuttle Bus on our way to the airport. If only this little girl knew what she was about to get on...one of those planes in the sky she points to all the time in awww and delight!

Having too much fun in the airport - walking on the window ledge and falling into Daddy's arms...and this energy was exerted AFTER the full hour of running the "airport treadmill" (moving walkway).
